Saved VictOria's Life.

The man who saved the queens life
near Kensington palace, in 1921, when
her majesty was only two years old, was
an Irish soldier named MOloney. He
was walking near the carriage in which
the infant princess was driving, and
when the carriage was upset he rushed
to the child's rescue and brought her
safely out of the broken vehicle. He
broke his leg, however, in the attempt,
and sustained other injuries from which
he suffered for some time afterward.
The Duchess of Kent, the queens
mother, gave him the munifcent re-
ward of 81 for his heroic act. In a
few years he was sent out to India with
his regiment, and there he spent up
ward of twenty years, returning to En-
gland pensioner on siXpence day.
Being in great distress-siXpence day
being unable to maintain the poor fell
low-he wrote to her majesty, remind
ing her of the important service he had
rendered to her in early life. No
notice whatever was taken of the appli-
cation. Nothing daunted, however, he
wrote again and again, but still no re-
spouse came from Windsor. To shorten
the story, he keptreminding her majesty
for nearly twenty years that he had
saved her life, and as he was beginning
to think at last that he could never sue
coed in exciting the royal gratitude
to do anything for him, he received
through the post small donation
anonymously. The following week it
was repeated. Upon the introduction
of postal orders he got one for 81 al
most every week, the donor being still
nameless. AS the orders, however,
bore the Windsor postmark, he sus-
pected the source whence they came.
AT last one day slip of paper, which
appeared to have been put into the
letter accidentally, revealed the name of
the sender-Sir Henry Ponsonby, the
queens private secretary. Since that
time Moloney has got the postal orders
without any disguise whatever from Sir
Henry. Moloney was originally in
tended for the church, but, being a wild
young fellow, he left home during his
student days, taking with him large
sum of money which belonged to his
father. This he soon spent, and then
he enlisted. He knew classics fairly
well, and while a soldier used to amuse
his companions by quoting verses from
the Latin and Greek poets. He is now
over eighty years of age and lives
at Hounslow, near ndon.-LOndon

dren happyln said a mother, with
sigh, one day, in despair at her efforts.
friend at her elbow, "and do as a
neighbor of mine does" And how
is thatP" she asked, dolefully. Why,
she simply lets her children grow and
develop naturally, only directing their
growth properly. She has always
thrown them, as far as practical, upon
their own esources-taught them to
wait upon themselves, no matter how
many servants she had, and to con-
struct their own playthings. When
she returns home from an absence,
they await but one thing-their moth
er's kiss. Whatever has been bought
for them is bestowed when the needed
time comes. Nothing exciting is al
lowed to them at night, and they go to
bed and to sleep in wholesome men
tai state that insures restful slumber.
They are taught to love nature and to
feel that there is nothing arrayed so
finely as the lily of the field, the bees
and the butterflies; that there is moth
ing so mean as lie, nor anything so
miserable as disobedence; that it is
disgrace to be sick, and that good health,
good teeth and good temper come from
plain food, plenty of sleep and being
good" In order to thrive children re-
quire a certain amount of "letting
alone" Supreme faith in the mother,
few toys, no finery, plain food, no
drugs and early to bed are the best
things for making them happy.-The

The Training of Children.

The loving instruction of a mother
may seem to have been thrown away,
but it will appear after many days.
When | was little child" said a
good old man, " my mother used to bid
me kneel down beside her, and place
her hand upon my head while she
prayed. Ere | was old enough to know
her worth she died, and was left too
much to my own guidance. Like 9th
ers, | was inclined to evil passions, but
often felt myself checked and, as it
were, drawn back by soft hand upon
my head. When young man l trav-
eled in foreign lands and was exposed
to many temptations, but when / would
have yielded that same hand was upon
my head, and l was saved. / seemed
to feel its pressure as in the happy days
of infancy; and sometimes there came
with it voice in my heart, voice that
was obeyed: 'Oh, do not this wicked
ness, my son, nor sin against God. ;"
With children you must mix gentleness
with tirmness. A man who is learn
ing to play on trumpet and a petted
child are two very disagreeable COM
panions." If mother never has head
aches through rebuking her little chill
dren she shall have plenty of heart
aches when they grow up. AT the
same time mother should not hamper
her child with unnecessary, foolish re-
strictions. 1t is great mistake to
fancy that your boy is made of glass,
and to be always telling him not to do
this and not to do that for fear of his
breaking himself On the principle
never to give pain unless it is to pre-
vent greater pain, you should grant
every request which is at all reason
able, and let him see that your denial
of thing is for his own good and not
simply to save trouble; but once hav-
ing duly settled thing, hold to it.
Unless child learns from the first that
his mothers yea is yea, and her nav
nay, it will get into the habit of whining
and endeavoring to coax her out of her
refusal, and her authority will soon be

Catarrh to CONSUMPTION.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads on to consumption, 1t is there
fore singular that those afflicted with this fearful
disease should not make the object of their lives
to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies CON
cocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge
have weakened the confidence of the great majority
of sufferers in all advertised remedies. They be-
come resigned to life of misery rather than tor
ture themselves with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and combated with all our might. In
many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose

affected to be useless, the uvula elongated the
throat so nfamed and irritated to produce con.

The Largest Birds Eggs in
the Void.

The largest birds eggs in existence
are found on the island of Madagascar,
belonging to an extinct species known
among the naturalists as the Epinornis,
or tail bird. An egg of the Epinornis
was offered to the Museum of Natural
History in Central Park, few wears
ago, which had holding capacity of
two gallons, and equaled in bulk one
hundred fifty hens eggs. The writer
has seen plaster cast of this monster
egg at the museum. The discovery of
these eggs was made by sea-captain
who stopped at port in the southern
part of Madagascar to trade with the
natives. During his stay there the Gu
rious dishes which the natives used to
carry food and water in attracted his
attention, and, upon investigation, he
found they were eggs cut in halves,
and, upon being questioned, the ma
tives informed him that they obtained
them from the great sand-banks some
distance away in the interior. An
offer to purchase some soon resulted in
the discovery of others, and also in
finding the bones of the bird which laid
them. The latter established the fact
that the Epnornis was a giant among
birds, some of the species attaining the
stature of twelve or thirteen feet. The
price of the original egg offered to the
museum was $500. AT that rate
dozen eggs for breakfast would be
rather expensive eating.-ChriStian at
Work.

RUSHING TO DEATH


in the attempt to swim the Niagara
Whirlpool Rapids is no more reckless or
dangerous than to trine with disease
which each day secures a stronger hold
and hastens the end of life This is
specially true of rheumatism, neuralgia,

though perhaps slight at first are extreme

grip until at last the agony is uncomfortable
and sudden death brings relief
These diseases can be cured by the use
of Athlophoros which, in connection with

All down by the dale let me wander
Where nature in beauty doth smile,
Where fiow'rets their fragrance dispelling-
there let me wander awhile.
The lark from the dale is ascending
Far up in the bright blue sky,
ON love-laden wing 1t is singing,
IT'S singing a sweet lullaby.
The sound of the pipe of the shepherd
You hear while his flock he doth tend,
The bees 'mongst the iow'rets are humming,
And all in sweet harmony blend.
o pleasant the soft summer breezes,
Respondent the orb of the day.
The hills and the woodlands rejoicing,
All clad in their bridal array.
How sweet and refreshing to wander
Along by the ripping stream,
With nature all fresh In her beauty,
And there DER fond memories dream!
Then down by the dale let us Wander
Together We'll hand in hand go
And view the fair beauties OF nature,
And muse by the streams crystal flow.

DREADFUL DEATH.
A Treacherous Mule Gets in Its
Kick.

Many of our citizens probably noticed
an emigrant outfit that passed through
our town last Wednesday afternoon, par
ticularly so because it was fitted out bet
ter than the average prairie schooner,
and had fine horses and mules with them.
Thursday morning the report was
brought to town that one of the party
had died at their camp west of town.
The particulars are as follows: The
name of the dead man was Chas. d.
Woody, and with his brother and his
family were on their way from Chautau-
qua county, Kas., to Washington terri
tory. Wednesday morning as Mr..
Woody was cooking his dinner one of
the mules got loose and around where he
was. He attempted to drive him off
when the mule kicked him in the
abdomen. He suffered severely for a
time, but becoming better the party pro-
ceeded on their journey, and finally
camped two miles west OF town. MI.
Woody was taken sick towards morning
and doctor was sent for, but before he
could arrive Mr.. Woody was dead. His
remains were inferred in Mount Hope
cemetery yesterday afternoon. This is a
sad blow to his brother who must now
pursue his weary way to the Pacific coast
alone leaving his brother to sleep his last
sleep in a land of strangers Ellis Re-

This accident occurred in Trego
county, near the house of Abram Cross.
Mr.. w. F. Cross informs us that the man
who was killed was driving team for
another man besides his brother, the man
having two teams in the company. The
company did not proceed on their jour
ney until the Saturday afternoon follow
ing the accident.
